• As a customer-facing bioscience specialist, lead multidisciplinary software development and implementation teams for L7's ESP product, an integrated LIMS/MES/ELN platform.• Engaged customer contacts and laboratory end-users to define scientific and laboratory needs and translate these into software requirements (URS), discussed and advised on solutions, and collected feedback on iterative development (Agile). • Contributed to system architecture and design, and developed custom content in Python, JavaScript, and SQL.• Composed training material and customer demonstrations. Engaged customers in collaborative co-development projects.• Defined team task assignments while managing changing customer needs with an eye towards quality and on-time delivery.• Most recently technical lead on a project to deliver an end-to-end LIMS, inventory, and project management solution to the Joint Genome Institute, a DOE user facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Customer is a research-oriented organization focused on providing Illumina, PacBio and DAP-Seq services for collaborative NGS projects.• Previously developed and delivered a biorepository solution for Eli Lilly's Clinical Diagnostics Laboratory and delivered a robotics-integrated solution for Quest Diagnostics' large-scale, highly automated NGS lab.

Advisor: Dr. Rick Russell• Designed and performed kinetics experiments measuring molecular interactions and conformational changes in DNA and RNA, using FRET, TIRF, PAGE, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and autoradiography to resolve kinetics of nucleic acid interactions.• Developed novel disulfide crosslinking kinetics assay, composing SOPs and training others in their use. Performed extensive troubleshooting and experimental controls to optimize methods and verify robust, quantitative results.• Performed statistical analysis, simulations, and MLE-based model selection with experimental data using Excel, Matlab, and Python. Wrote custom software to achieve specific modeling and analysis goals.• Designed and performed a pilot NGS study to quantitatively assess the folding of RNA sequence variants. Developed custom NGS library prep protocol and data analysis pipeline.• Wrote, troubleshot, and revised SOPs for specialized laboratory assays and instrumentation, including single-molecule microscopy and novel disulfide crosslinking assays. Trained junior lab personnel in laboratory SOPs and data analysis.• Conceived, lead, and managed multiple simultaneous research projects, coordinating research activities and manuscript preparation with collaborators at Stanford and UT Austin, and composing three manuscripts for publication.• Met with supervisor weekly to review results and discuss research progress, direction. Prepared oral presentations quarterly to update colleagues on research progress. Presented research finding at international conference for RNA Society.

• Provided SME assistance and provided prototype and method validation for startup clients in petrochemicals and biotech.• Explored and analyzed client’s pilot/prototype data to assess the strength of evidence for client’s technical aims. Audited testing procedures and recommended appropriate remedial changes to client’s experimental designs and protocols.• Conducted feasibility studies and provided viability reports based on prototype design and test data.

• Developed Monte Carlo simulation software to investigate specific problems in polymer physics. Wrote, documented, and maintained thousands of lines of Python. Performed statistical analysis on multi-gigabyte datasets.• Presented research findings at conferences for APS and AIChE.

• Performed experiments and provided cloning support in a metabolic engineering laboratory developing fuel and chemical production pathways in E. coli. Investigated strategies for improving plasmid stability in E. coli.
